Lutein powder Usage and Synthesis.

Lutein is a nutrient that is absorbed by humans when they consume raw fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, but the absorption and utilisation rates are generally low.

Supplements can be taken if lutein is deficient. Elderly people with poorer digestive systems can use sublingual sprays to supplement lutein. Lutein was added as a dietary supplement as early as 1996.

In addition, excessive intake of lutein can place an excess burden on the liver, and the recommended dosage is about 12 mg per day.

Uses of Lutein powder.

(1) The main pigment components of the retina: lutein and zeaxanthin constitute the main components of plant pigments in vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., and are also the main pigments in the macular region* of the retina of the human eye.

The human eye contains a high amount of lutein, an element that the human body can not manufacture and must be supplemented by intake of lutein, if the lack of this element, the eyes will be blind;.

(2) Protecting the eyes from light damage, slowing down the aging of the eyes and preventing lesions:Ultraviolet light and blue light from the sun entering the eyes will produce a large number of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer.

Ultraviolet light is generally filtered out by the cornea and lens, but blue light can penetrate the eyeball directly to the retina and the macula, and lutein in the macula can filter out the blue light to avoid the damage of blue light to the eyes. The outer layer of fat in the macula is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage from sunlight, so this area is highly susceptible to degeneration.

(3) Antioxidant, helps to prevent cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease and tumour diseases triggered by aging of the organism;.

(4) protection of vision: lutein as an antioxidant and photoprotective effect, can promote the retinal cells in the retina retina (Rhodopsin) regeneration, can prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and can enhance vision, protection of eyesight. Especially suitable for students, drivers and other people to eat;.

(5) Relieve symptoms of visual fatigue: (blurred vision, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, etc.);.

(6) Improve macular pigment density, protect macula, promote macular development;.

(7) Preventing macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.

(8) Reduce the production of vitreous warts and prevent AMD.

Physiological Effect of Lutein powder.

Natural lutein is an excellent antioxidant, can resist free radicals in the body caused by cell and organ damage, thus can prevent the body aging caused by cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease and tumour disease.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only two carotenoids in the eye, preventing vision loss and blindness caused by age-related retinal macular degeneration is the unique function of lutein.

Causality of Bulk Lutein powder.

Lutein is a lipophilic substance, usually insoluble in water. Lutein belongs to the group of carotenoids and is therefore fat-soluble (i.e. soluble in fats and oils). It is readily soluble in fats, oils and fatty solvents.

Pure lutein is prismatic yellow crystals with a metallic lustre, unstable to light and oxygen, and should be stored in a cool dry place, protected from light and sealed.
